This Wild Specialty Beer presents an intensely expressive profile defined by a vibrant trio of locally sourced raspberries, blackcurrants, and blackberries. The sensory experience is led by a fresh, smooth acidity that mimics the lush texture of a dark fruit sorbet. On the palate, the sharp, floral tartness of the raspberries and the earthy, musky depth of blackcurrants are elegantly tempered by soft vanilla notes, which provide a rounded, creamy counterpoint to the wild fermentation's lactic tang. The finish is clean yet evocative of a rich berry coulis, balancing the bright acidity of the forest fruits with a sophisticated, lingering fruit-skin complexity.
Appearance.Pours a deep, opaque burgundy to vibrant purple with a thick, frothy pinkish-mauve head. Displays moderate head retention and leaves a fine, colorful lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of freshly crushed raspberries and tart blackberries. A distinct, musky blackcurrant note adds depth, complemented by a subtle, sweet vanilla bean fragrance and a clean, lactic sourness. Low underlying doughy malt.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp, refreshing acidity followed by an explosion of forest fruits. The raspberry provides a bright top note, while the blackberries and blackcurrants offer a jammy, slightly tannic mid-palate. Soft vanilla emerges toward the finish, smoothing out the acidity. Finish is dry and tart with a lingering berry sorbet aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, almost velvety texture despite the acidity. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp lift. Very low astringency from berry skins; negligible alcohol warmth despite the 7.2% ABV.
